Emergence of enzymes
Investigating Enzymes Bookmark this Page Email this Page Plagiarism and How to Cite From www. ... uk Research Enzymes exist in all living things. ... Each cell contains several hundred enzymes, which catalyse a vast number of chemical reactions. Enzymes are known as Biological Catalysts as they dramatically increase the rate at which reactions occur within living organisms, without being ‘used up’ or effecting the reaction in any other way. Enzymes catalysis saves the need for an increase in temperature in order to speed up reactions within living things. ... Enzymes are specific - they only control one type of reaction; therefore I must use one specific enzyme in my experiment, in order to find a clear way of measuring the rate of reaction. Although they are specific, all enzymes work in a very similar way and have similar properties.
